I think the Iranian program is too dispersed and too deeply buried to deeply to be taken out by conventional weapons.

bunker busters?
Did we sell them to Israel?
tactical nukes?
How far is Israel willing to go to stop Iran from getting to tools to wipe Israel out?

Perhaps the intent is just to take out what they can, even though that would be less than 100%...

They don’t have to take out all facilities. Disabling a handful of key structures such as enrichment and heavy water facilities can stop the program for a decade. Winning time is the most important thing now.

There's certainly no argument that it's not dispersed and deeply-buried, but precision-guided weapons aimed at the access points/entrances on the surface could do quite a bit of damage.

If they can actually get an explosion into the areas where the centrifuges are and damage a couple of them, they could conceivably "fail catastrophically" and, ironically, initiate a chain-reaction destroying many more. The subsequent release of the UF6 would cause even more damage.

Destroy the entrances and air handling equipment and vents to seal them.

I agree. And the Israelis have been making this threat for ages. Time to either fish or cut bait.
